Her mission was to kill him. He pulled her out of the wreckage instead — and never once asked why she was there.
CIA operative Valentina Cruz had one assignment: eliminate Mateo Vega before he inherited the cartel. The shot failed. What came next wasn't in her mission profile — Mateo pulled her out of an extraction site she didn't know was burned. He needs her tradecraft to find the mole who burned them both. She needs his network to get home, or to build a case before Langley decides she went rogue. Neither of them is being entirely honest about what they're actually looking for. Valentina has been a very good liar for eleven years. She can't find the lie she needs for this.
